Behavior & Training Resources

Whether it's training tips, wellness information or financial resources, we're here to answer your pet-related questions. San Diego Humane Society offers training classes and resources to address a variety of needs for companion animals. Our training philosophy is based on the behavioral science concepts of positive reinforcement. Training your pet using these methods will not only help them learn new behaviors more quickly, it will also strengthen the bond you share.
